There’s been some research in cognitive science, I’m told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it’s white noise.

Many badly needed goals, like fusion and cancer cure, would be achieved much sooner if we invested more.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

In times of need, God can come to you in a myriad of disguises.

There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.

Prayer is such a basic foundation of a Christian’s relationship with God. It’s how we communicate and fellowship with Him. But a surprising number of people, young and old, new and even long-time Christians, say they’re not satisfied with their prayer life.

How sweet it is to learn the Savior’s love when nobody else loves us! When friends flee, what a blessed thing it is to see that the Savior does not forsake us but still keeps us and holds us fast and clings to us and will not let us go!

No, I never saw an angel, but it is irrelevant whether I saw one or not. I feel their presence around me.

Sure I believe in God and the Devil, but they don’t have to have pitchforks and a long white beard.

So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God’s help I shall succeed.

Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.

God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

I think any statement about stock prices is always suspect unless it’s made by Warren Buffett.

Men know not the gold which lies in the mine of Christ Jesus, or surely they would dig in it night and day. They have not yet discovered the pearl of great price, or they would have sold their all to buy the field wherein it lies.

God can cause opportunity to find you. He has unexpected blessings where you suddenly meet the right person, or suddenly your health improves, or suddenly you’re able to pay off your house. That’s God shifting things in your favor.

We do not pray to God to instruct Him as to what He should do; neither for a moment must we presume to dictate the method of the divine working.

You must pursue this investigation of Watergate even if it leads to the president. I’m innocent. You’ve got to believe I’m innocent. If you don’t, take my job.

If one has the answers to all the questions – that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.

In spiritual things, it is God who performs all things for you. Rest in Him, then.

Our soul is cast into a body, where it finds number, time, dimension. Thereupon it reasons, and calls this nature necessity, and can believe nothing else.

Someone said to me, ‚If fifty percent of the experts in Hollywood said you had no talent and should give up, what would you do?‘ My answer was then and still is, ‚If a hundred percent told me that, all one hundred percent would be wrong.‘

I don’t think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He’s given you… but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things… he’s not a small God; this God is incredible.

God helps those who help themselves.

Those who believe that they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.

God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.

Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.

I’ve been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning box, that He doesn’t want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency, but He wants to invade your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

There are GMO skeptics more in Europe maybe than in other places, but not exclusively.

I don’t want to impugn the motives of my colleagues, but my attitude is, speaking just for me, you either believe in border security or you don’t.

I believe in that old adage that ‚as goes California, so goes the country.‘

Cursing is invoking the assistance of a spirit to help you inflict suffering. Swearing on the other hand, is invoking, only the witness of a spirit to an statement you wish to make.

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

I love tattoos. And mine symbolise who I really am. I have a Samurai on my left arm. At a subconscious level, I connect to this warrior and model myself on his discipline, skills and honour. There is also a tribal tattoo and a Chinese symbol of faith. I have seen a lot of people getting tattoos just because it’s a trend.

I glory in the distinguishing grace of God and will not, by the grace of God, step one inch from my principles or think of adhering to the present fashionable sort of religion.

Our faith is released as we say, pray and do the Word.

I read the Bible every day.

Our faith comes in moments; our vice is habitual.

People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.

Not only does God play dice, but… he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws.

I don’t believe in nepotism. I don’t much like the idea of parents who interfere.

The separation of church and state is a source of strength, but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being.

Men willingly believe what they wish.

I separated from the Southern Baptists when they adopted the discriminatory attitude towards women, because I believe what Paul taught in Galatians that there is no distinction in God’s eyes between men and women, slaves and masters, Jews and non-Jews – everybody is created equally in the eyes of God.

I always was a Christian… whatsoever a man thinks in his heart is who he is.

Lord Jesus, we come just as we are; this is how we came at first, and this is how we come still, with all our failures, with all our transgressions, with all and everything that is what it ought not to be, we come to Thee.

God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.

Peace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children. I know, because for many years my life was not peaceful, and I was miserable.

You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.

Motives reveal why we do what we do, which is actually more important to God than what we’re doing.

I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don’t have as many people who believe it.

I think being an atheist is something you are, not something you do.

I just think that it’s strong and it’s important that we recognize what the Christmas season is about; it’s about the birth of our Savior, and there’s a lot of pressure today to be politically correct, but people are realizing, too, that you have to be open to express your faith what you want believe.

The one badge of Christian discipleship is not orthodoxy but love.

Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.
